“WASP-121b is particularly extreme, with average temperatures on the dayside hemisphere being around 2770 Kelvin, while those on the nightside are closer to about 1000 Kelvin,” said Dr. Tom Evans-Soma. buff.ly/G1RQ9zV
“This is totally counter intuitive because, all things being equal, hot planets have more energy to accelerate the winds!” said Dr. Vivien Parmentier. buff.ly/OAPT3hG
Scientists have successfully tested a non-destructive method to harvest life-saving medicines from plants under simulated space conditions, enabling on-demand drug production for long-duration missions. buff.ly/fWHnLcG
How Some Genes Have Helped Humans Adapt to Changing Diets | "Evolution is chiseling a sculpture, not constructing a building," explained Professor Omer Gokcumen. #geneticsbuff.ly/v9eLUXT
A thick, insulating crust of methane ice warms Titan's interior, softening the underlying ice and causing impact craters to rapidly flatten and heal over time. buff.ly/oh99lA7
Computer models show that a planet-induced pressure bump near Jupiter trapped cosmic dust, creating a "factory" that formed the solar system's diverse carbonaceous meteorites. buff.ly/IIcpRJU
Using the James Webb Space Telescope, astronomers discovered that the "hot Jupiter" exoplanet WASP-94A b experiences a daily weather cycle where rock-mineral clouds form in the morning and vaporize by evening. buff.ly/IdGZGai
Using a technique called Shape-from-Shading, scientists created detailed 3D lunar maps to help mission planners select safe landing sites for Artemis astronauts at the Moon's south pole. buff.ly/G5hslW6
Scientists have developed a new statistical model that predicts winter weather up to six months in advance by forecasting the behavior of the stratospheric polar vortex. buff.ly/nxzvvsq

Dr. Kurt Retherford: “The new data has made us reconsider the strength of the previous paper’s conclusion regarding water vapor plumes.” buff.ly/ouTlHpx
“We’re trying to figure out how these big gas giants got there. We’re studying the formation and migration pathways of big planets,” said Paul Smith. buff.ly/ZZtsVSw
“We are now exactly on target for the flyby, and we’ve programmed the flight computer with everything that the spacecraft will do throughout May,” said Sarah Bairstow. buff.ly/EcQpTEW
“Up until now, we used a global circulation model (GCM) for Venus that is similar to Earth’s, but this model doesn’t include the hydraulic jump which we have now identified,” said Dr. Takeshi Imamura. buff.ly/fmKka8x
Dr. Fabian Klenner: “We’re showing that life does not only produce molecules. Life also produces an organizational principle that we can see by applying statistics.” buff.ly/HNFYba9
“VIPER is a critical off-world resource mapping mission and will operate in the south polar region of the Moon to characterize potential resources and inform subsequent ISRU architectures for sustained human exploration.” buff.ly/i0dp0AV
